Build a Daybed

It’s a fun and snug idea that falls in between a hammock and outdoor sofa. It’s also a perfect and innovative addition to an entertaining area, reading nook or a great place for those afternoon summer naps.
Outdoor Lighting
Adding some ambient lighting and lanterns is another simple but effective way to change the look of your backyard. Lanterns can act as a point of interest as well as providing some warmth to an area, bringing form and mood to an area. Fairy lights are another great option that can pull attention to a certain area or feature and definitely worth investing in as they can be used for a wide range of lighting and decorative ideas.
Breakfast Nooks
If you don’t have the space for a large outdoor dining area or want a specific area that can be soaked in the early morning sun a breakfast nook could be a great addition to your outdoor setting. Find a nice place near the garden that gets all the morning sun, and simply add a little table and chairs. What a perfect way to start any day.
Create an Escape Zone
If you’ve got a big backyard space, you could consider creating a little getaway oasis. You’ll want to find a spot area from your existing outdoor entertaining space and create your dream escape space. Whether that’s a little paved area with some cosy couches surrounded by lush greenery, or a gazebo with some table and chairs. As long as you can create a place that relaxes you and makes you feel like you’re on a holiday that should be the only rule.
Pop of Colour
When decorating the exterior of their home people often tend to work with neutral tones. Which is a great way to create a neat and modern space, but if you want to change your space up, considering colour into the zone can be a great idea. Adding colours through your furniture or adding some colour in and around your garden with plants is a simple way to add subtle pops of colour. Mimicking the sunshine and sky with bright yellows, oranges, and blues is a simple starting point.
